Abstract: A study was conducted on a direct-injection, single-cylinder, research-type diesel engine to determine the effect of adding ethanol or isopropanol to diesel fuel on the ignition delay period. ...

Abstract: The speed variation of the crankshaft may be easily and accurately measured using a shaft encoder and counting the pulses of the internal clock of the data acquisition system. If the crankshaft ...

Abstract: The physical properties of the fuel, such as density, viscosity, surface tension, and bulk modulus of elasticity, affect many aspects of the diesel injection process. The effects of these fuel ...

Abstract: A portable PC-based heat release model for diesel engines with an emphasis on cold starting was developed to be used on an IBM PC or compatible. The model features normalized variables, the ...

Abstract: The focus of the study described herein is the characterization of the high-pressure hydraulic electronic unit injector (HEUI) and of the electronic unit injector (EUI) diesel injection systems. ...
